Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 167
Wuyi Lane, Xie Anzhai.

Xie An sat on Hu's bed on the edge of the green pond, holding a fishing rod.

His eyes narrowed slightly, as if in thought.

Like all middle-aged and elderly men, Xie An, a nobleman of a noble family and the helm of a first-class wealthy family, also likes fishing.

Many young people do not understand the joy of fishing.

Just holding a pole, dipping into the water, sitting quietly like that, and not being able to do any other action, an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Like Xie An, who often fishes by the lake and pond in the inner house, it is not satisfactory. At least, there are many fish here, and the swimming range is also small. You can always catch a few in an hour.

But those fishing enthusiasts scattered along the rivers of Jiankang City are really incomprehensible.

The river is so big and the flow is so violent that it is normal for one hour or two to pass, and not even a single fish can be caught.

Sitting like this is a waste of time.

Light footsteps sounded, and Xie An opened his eyes.

"You came."

Xie Shideng suddenly stopped and smiled: "I saw the eldest brother fishing, and wanted to come over quietly, but he was discovered by the eldest brother."

Xie An picked up the fishing rod. Sure enough, the bait on the fishing rod was long gone, but there was still not a single fish.

He put away the fishing line, turned around and said, "It's okay."

"I'm restless, and I didn't plan to catch fish."

"Big brother, it's just the birthday of a favorite concubine, why should I join in the fun?"

"It's so embarrassing!"

Compared with Xie An, Xie Shi is a little more open-minded. Originally, he did not reject such things as attending a birthday party.

However, Zhang Guiren...

This character is really out of place.

"If it's Queen Wang's birthday, I will never say anything else, and I will definitely participate."

"But now, Zhang Guiren came from a humble background, and he has only been favored by His Majesty for more than a year. How can the children of our Xie family go to support such a person?"

In order not to embarrass himself, Xie Shi is still making his last efforts.

The thought of going to celebrate Zhang Guiren's birthday made Xie Shi feel uncomfortable, which reminded him of those courtiers who flattered the favored concubine in the past in order to be promoted to rank.

As soon as the old man stood up, the fish came over!
What the hell are these fish!
Xie An observed the surface of the water. Some of his brother's words were heard, while others were not heard at all.

Fishing is just one of Xie An's daily hobbies, and he never cares about the harvest.

Occasionally a fish is caught, but it is just unhooked and released.

Rao is so, these fish are so disrespectful, Lao Xie is very depressed.

"What's this?"

"You didn't see that Wang Aning went too?"

"Not only Wang Aning, but also the Queen's concubine will also come to the Langya Palace. Look at it, the brothers and sisters of the Wang family must have other arrangements."

"Wang Aning doesn't care, why do you care so much about face?"

The children of aristocratic families all think of their face more than the sky, and there are many people who are flattering, but it also depends on the object.

For example, flattering the emperor and flattering the children of a noble family with a higher official position than their own are normal operations and are harmless.

However, Xie Shi still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart when he went to support a favorite concubine.

Then he retorted: "Brother, I don't love face, I just don't like Zhang Guiren's pretentious attitude. His Majesty didn't force us, let us go, why don't we call it a disease, then decline it!"

Xie An sighed, this younger brother has been an official in the dynasty for many years, and his mind is still so simple.He couldn't help but imagine that in the future, if he was a hundred years later, who would the Xie family give to support him.

At present, it seems that Xie Xuan still has some qualifications.

I hope he can firmly hold the Beifu Army in his hands!
"Who said that you are only allowed to flatter the nobles!"

"There are so many people at the birthday banquet. What are Wang Aning and the queen thinking, and what is the performance of King Langya, we need to pay attention."

In order to convince Xie Shi to do things seriously, Xie An also worked very hard.

In fact, with Xie An's authority at home, even if he didn't explain anything, Xie Shi would still obediently go to the Langya Palace.

However, in that case, the goal that Xie An was about to achieve would be hopeless.

"Your Majesty asked the King of Langya to record six things, but it's just these few days, don't you forget?"

"Their brothers are so close now and have such a good relationship. The old man doesn't believe that he, Wang Aning, will be indifferent."

"Don't forget that it has always been the consensus of our major families to join forces with the family to guard against the power of the Sima family."

"In the past, the Sima family really didn't have any signs of being able to gain momentum, and there were no people with outstanding talents. The family could fight against each other."

"The old man observes that this Sima Daozi is indeed different from his predecessors. He is very enterprising at a young age. He loves power and wants to fight for power."

"Such a person, even if his ability is not so outstanding, as long as he dares to do it, he will definitely make waves in the court."

"In addition, Sima Yao is also a very ambitious person. Pushing Sima Daozi to the court is the first step of his temptation."

"For this kind of person, what we have to do is not to let him take the lead. As long as he dares to provoke and take power, we will beat him back!"

Xie Shi was a little puzzled: "Isn't the eldest brother acquiescing to the king of Langya to enter the dynasty?"

"how can that be!"

"Are you crazy!"

"If the old man thinks like this, how can he be worthy of the ancestors of the Xie family!"

Xie An's aggressive words proved his firm belief. He glared at his younger brother, worried that he could not reach a state of heart-to-heart with him.

What's the matter with him?

Is Wu Shi San dazed?
Xie Shi smiled awkwardly: "Eldest brother calm down, I didn't mean it that way. It has not been a day or two since King Langya entered the dynasty. Before that, eldest brother has not responded. I thought that eldest brother didn't want to take care of this matter."

"Since the eldest brother has other plans, the younger brother is relieved and will definitely help." Xie Shi also breathed a sigh of relief.

With the current situation, the rise and fall of the Xie family is all tied to Xie An alone.

Xie An received the news of the six matters in the Shangshu of Langya Wang's record, and it was the day before Sima Daozi was swaggering to govern.

The intention of Sima Yao's move is very obvious, that is, he wants to cook cooked rice with raw rice, so that none of your Wang family and Xie family can stop it.

Surprisingly, this time, Wang Gong didn't move at all, and didn't even write a brief note. Looking back, his eldest brother Xie An also shook his hand, as if nothing happened.

Xie Shi was worried for a while, thinking that since then, the court will ask him Sima Daozi to have the final say.

Xie An sank a little and encouraged: "You and my brother, naturally you should work together. Look, didn't Sima Yao also pull out his brother to help?"

"This birthday banquet is a rare opportunity. The party scene is relaxed and lively, and many things that are deliberately concealed on weekdays may be exposed."

"You must pay attention to the words and deeds of these important figures. As an old man, it is not suitable for you to appear on such occasions. This matter is entrusted to you."

Xie Shi stood still and nodded firmly.

For a moment, he felt that sense of mission came out spontaneously, and I, Xie Shi, had a duty to safeguard the interests of the Xie family!
